Looking for a reversal on theater stocks in the next week or so. Theaters are taking a hit currently, but theaters continue to re-open across the country. San Fran re-opens next week and they are I believe the 3rd largest market. I do think Halloween will drive some interest as well as people seek a return to "normalcy."

NCMI is turning around. Got back in it yesterday.

Should be a good long term hold. Months or years.
Prudent people will not fill theatres for a while.
I own it, but will not likely take short term profits. Otoh, I understand why you would play the volatility.

Take a look at SPR. 737 MAX passed Boeing’s internal tests and now the FAA administrator himself is flying the final recert flights. They make the fuselage, wing and engine parts, among other things. They did just announce an offering that closes on Oct 5. Still fairly new to this, so not sure exactly what effect that will have on the share price.

Y’all help me with the ex-dividend for MFA (or any dividend stock for that matter). Their date is 9/29 which means that people should be buying today to try and get in, correct? Which should be safe to increase my position a bit Today then plan Selling Wednesday?

Here's the general concept, if you buy a stock prior to the ex dividend date you are entitled to the dividend. Assuming a stock sells for $99 prior to the ex-dividend date and it pays a dividend of $1, the price will drop to $98 on the ex dividend date. So buying before or after the ex date only changes whether you get the dividend or not. The value is still the same. This assumes no other market noise.

My first post was incorrect, I've corrected the explanation. Thunder Good-Oil caught my mistake.

Why wouldn’t the price on the ex-dividend date drop to $98? A dollar has been removed from the value of the share of stock.

Welp, I’m unloading most everything I’ve got at 0700. All my gains are going to get f’n wiped out but maybe I can re-enter super low.

I’m looking hard at yields and PEs this week. Talked to my advisor recently and they only anticipate around 5% returns in equities (dividends plus CA) for the foreseeable future.

So... IMO oil, defense, financials, and tech that can maintain their dividend and still turn a profit are where I might want to go. XOM and CVX have great yields, but I’ll be shocked if the divs aren’t slashed. I’m considering adding General Dynamics, RTX, HON, LHX, IBM/CSCO, Big Pharma, regional and large banks/financial cos. Might take some risk with smallish positions in GE, BA (0%) or Spirit Aero, and/or XOM/CHV. Maybe go with the more sound high yielding names with retirement money. I think I’ll pay off some margin and mortgage.

I’m getting real concerned with the partisan politics, taxes/government balance sheets, civil unrest, COVID, China. I don’t see things settling down anytime soon. I might let my IA oversee more of my holdings (and let them take their 1%).

I’m also thinking about being a much more active trader with a minor portion of my assets. Simply buying and holding might be dead money for a while.

Basically looking for another draft kings or similar. Only $400,000,000? I question long term and dont know if the spaq industry is nearly saturated.
Most seem to get early interest so an opportunity for quick profits?

I own psth Started by Ackman's and dgnr, tech. A small position in rbac. I think it's all gambling.

To hear Fox News yesterday, you better start selling oil and begin investing in solar because the markets are “pricing in” a Biden victory.
